Known widely as the host of Creative Mornings/Charlotte, Queen City-bred Matt Olin is co-founder of Charlotte Is Creative, a nonprofit that creates programs and initiatives designed to fund, promote, connect and advocate for our city’s creative individuals and organizations, and to champion collaboration between them and the larger business community. These include such programs as Queen City Quiz Show (winner of a Knight Cities Challenge Grant), the HUG (“Helpful Unfettered Gift”) creative microgrant program, and The Biscuit (BiscuitCLT.com), a media channel named “Best Email to Land in Your Inbox” by Charlotte Magazine. Matt spent the first 20 years of his career creating and producing professional theater in Charlotte and New York – productions garnering such honors as 14 Tony Awards, 50 Tony nominations, Obie Awards, Drama Desk Awards, and more. As a musician, his rock star fantasies briefly became reality when his former band opened for REO Speedwagon, A Flock of Seagulls, and Blondie.
